Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 2) (745)

Fierce Fighting at the Tachiwaki Gym! VS Homika!! Part 2

The Gym battle with Homika continues. With her Pokémon managing to poison Ash's with great ease, Ash faces his toughest challenge of Unova yet. As more of his Pokémon get poisoned and start to fall, Ash starts to lose the will to continue. Will Ash overcome this devastation and earn the Toxic Badge?

Things aren't looking good for Levanny. Getting plummeted after the poisoning.
Yep. It's completely overwhelmed.
Ash isn't discouraged yet. He sends out Pignite.
After a bit of a power struggle Pignite lands a direct hit ...
... and so does Scolipede for the poison.
Pignite lands a pretty impressive hit. Megaman's Magnetic Shockwave? Kind of like that. OH NO! Scolipede is knocked out!
Pignite looks pretty sick from the poison for a second, but overcomes it.
The crowd rallies around Homika which makes both Iris and Meloetta upset. Iris actually leaves ...?
Homika sends out Garbodor; her last Pokemon.
It's surprisingly agile, and heavy, and giving Pignite a really hard time.
Anyone expecting Iris to return with a cheerleading outfit will be dissapointed. She went to get a drum.
... which didn't do a lick of good for poor Pignite.
Next up will be Palpitoad.
Dare da? Garbodor.
Pikachu notices Meloetta after an attack.
Gunk Shot? It looks pretty painful.
Whatever it was, it knocks Palpitoad out in two hits.
Final Set. Ash sends out the rodent.
Pikachu manages to evade it long enough to make an opening to attack.
Garbodor couldn't really do much to avoid a Thunderbolt.
Well, Pikachu having the upper hand was short lived.
Great. Now Iris is dragging Cilian into the cheering squad.
Now Pikachu is poisoned. He can't pull himself together -
- whoa ... Iris. With her war face paint and everything.
Homika commands an attack, but Garbodor conveniently can't move.
Pikachu finishes it up with Electro Ball. OH MY GOD! ... seriously? This guy's hilarious.
Homika isn't a bad sport about the loss. Pecha Berries for all. All as in " just Pikachu ".
Ash celebrates and co, and Next Time ... a New Beginning!

So now it's confirmed (as if it wasn't already) that Ash is gonna have to rely on the unfair advantage Homika offered him to win. This means Homika is still the superior trainer. I am so proud to be a trainer of Poison-types!
